This paper discusses the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an aeronautical uplink optical wireless communication system (OWCS) when a Gaussian beam is employed and the M-ary pulse position modulation technique is used in an atmospheric turbulent medium. Weak turbulence conditions and log-normal distribution are utilized. The Gaussian beam is assumed to propagate on a slant path, the transmitter being ground-based, and the airborne receiver is on-axis positioned. Variations of BER are obtained against the variations in the link length, Gaussian beam source size, zenith angle, wind speed, wavelength, modulation order, data bit rate, equivalent load resistor, avalanche photodetector gain, and detector quantum efficiency. It is observed that the performance of the aeronautical uplink OWCS is affected from atmospheric turbulence significantly.

Using the Rytov method, bit error rate (BER) performances of M-pulse amplitude modulation (M-PAM) are investigated for a flat-topped beam when such a beam is employed in an aeronautical laser communication system operating in vertical paths having weak atmospheric turbulence. By using the on-axis scintillation index and the log-normal distributed intensity, the average BER (⟨BER⟩) is evaluated for M-PAM when M=2,4,8. The scintillation indices of collimated flat-topped beams of various flatness orders N are compared against propagation lengths, source sizes, and zenith angle for laser communication vertical paths, including uplink and downlink.
